Well, in fvwm-2.5.1 it is possible, but not documented yet:
SendToModule FvwmButtons Title <button-num> <new-title>
Numbering of <button-num> starts from 0. It also may be in +x+y form.
The syntax may be changed later. I would use a bit different syntax:
SendToModule FvwmButtons Change <button-num> Title <new-title>
Because this syntax would be open for "Add" and "Delete" messages too.
You may dynamically change "Icon" too, just like "Title".
